Acceptance of digital media in work and private life
Project description
Digitalization is permeating numerous areas of life and constantly offering new opportunities - in private life, at school, and in organizations. Apps are being used to combat the pandemic, for example; robots, artificial intelligence, and other digital assistants provide support in the classroom and at work. However, users are not always enthusiastic about new technologies and the changes these technologies bring with them from the very first minute, even if users can objectively benefit from these changes.
Our studies therefore examine which factors can contribute to the acceptance of digital technologies in different areas of life. Determinants of acceptance in the school and work context are examined, as well as potential intervention options for increasing acceptance in individual and collaborative contexts.
